Leading Manufacturing Companies – BHEL

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has won a prestigious order for setting up a 660MW coal-based thermal power project with supercritical parameters in Maharashtra. Valued at over Rs 2,800 crore, the project would be set up as an expansion project (Unit 6) of Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (Mahagenco)’s Bhusawal Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Maharashtra.
In another news, after being delayed for nearly 11 years, work on the Udangudi Super Critical Thermal Power Project is set to begin. The estimated Rs 100-billion project, to be funded by Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), will be executed by BHEL in 42 months. REC Ltd has agreed to support the project, with a financial assistance of Rs 105 billion to set up the 1,320MW Udangudi Stage-1 power project. BHEL has won an EPC contract worth Rs 73 billion in an international competition bidding for installing Supercritical Thermal Power Project (TPP).
Similarly, construction of the state-V 800MW unit of the Dr Narla Tatarao Thermal Power Station (NTTPS) is going on at a brisk pace. It is likely to be commissioned by early 2019 as the Boiler, Turbine and Generator (BTG) and the Balance of Plant (BOP) work has been expedited by BHEL and the BGR Energy Systems Limited (BESL) respectively.
The shell of the natural draft cooling tower will be ready by the end of 2018. Construction of NTTPS’ 800MW unit and the one of equal capacity at Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station at Krishnapatnam is going in tandem, the latter being executed by the Tata Projects.
